I think we need a PDGA league on sunday afternoon at Wyco. Then you could just not have the league on the sundays when there is a local tournament. That would give you some weeks of not having to run league also.

I've looked into the amount of work it takes, and the cost, and am willing to cover it. If I cover the registration fee, I want to cover the league reporting.

I think FTL would be a perfect PDGA league, but I can only commit to every other week - at best (and maybe not even that) - starting the second week of April when I go back to having Friday's off. I think we could have more than one PDGA league, FTL being one of them, but that would have to be someone else.

I would be interested in running a PDGA league myself on either Monday or Wednesday. It is hard to keep track of various threads, but it seems like there was some interest in moving Cliff Drive to Friday. If so, we could move WyCo to Monday. I would run WyCo on Mondays (or Wednesday) as PDGA league. If Monday, our first day would have to be April 7 - I could not start earlier.

So the thread title is KCFDC PDGA league, but FTL is not a KCFDC league. Just FYI. What about the league with the most attendance? WW? or Rosedale? I don't know if Greg or Scott would be interested, but a thought. We have a league for every week night, so I am not so sure adding another would attendance or participation all around.

I don't believe you should have a PDGA league that only privileged people who enjoy Friday's off can play. Some of us want to play too, but don't have the 4-day work week, or unemployment.

I don't mind having a traveling league in the evening. I actually really lilke the idea. I'm concerned about attendance though. I think it would have to be on a set night - like every Monday or every Wednesday (actually those are the only two I'm available.)

If I ran it, I would post the 10 week schedule ahead of time. All 10 weeks.

Payouts would be the normal KCFDC league structure, including KC Kash if the board would let me.

It would be run on two different spreadsheets. The KCFDC league and the PDGA league. Theoretically, a person could play 'Open' in the KCFDC league but 'MA1 - Advanced' in the PDGA league. This is actually kosher with the PDGA. For leagues, Ams can collect cash and not have their Am status in jeopardy.

For the PDGA side, we would run just 'Open' and 'MA1'. This helps everyone with PDGA points as these two categories have the highest point multiplier. If this is confusing, let me know and I'll explain it in more detail.

Do players get PDGA ratings from league rounds? Yes. Current PDGA members will earn ratings and even non-members will earn them even though they won't be able to see their official ratings until they join or renew. Players will see preview (unofficial) ratings each week when the TD posts the scores online just like regular tournaments.

If some weeks don't display preview ratings, it's likely not enough players entered that week with established ratings (propagators) over 799. At least 5 propagators are required to produce preview ratings. The good news is that once the league report is submitted to the PDGA, players will still receive official ratings for any of the weeks they couldn't see preview ratings.

Do players earn PDGA points?Yes. Players will earn PDGA points based on how many players they tied or beat in their division during each week of play. League points are 1/2 the amount of points of a C-Tier tournament

You don't have to be a PDGA member to play.You would have to pay the $1/round PDGA fee to play in this league regardless of PDGA membership status.

You of course can do it how ever you want, the issue would be getting approval to exchange funds at a course that isn't KCFDC approved. I know for example a few places have already indicated that without insurance they don't want any type of "organized" event at their park.

So by having the KCFDC courses, you have the insurance piece covered, and that alleviates many of the NIMBY types.
